Introduction As a programmer, you need to work on different time-based tasks in your program like logging and saving the records to the database and accessing the documents. In each of those cases, date and time assume a significant part in saving the importance and integrity of the data and information. So, you must know …
Having looked at the Python date and datetime modules in previous articles, today we’ll take a closer look at the time module and understand how to extract, input, and work with times in our coding. First, I’ll recap on computer time and introduce the time object we’ll be using with the functions we introduce later …
Article Overview: In a previous post, we discussed the datetime module in Python and used it to iterate through a range of dates. Today, let’s learn how to manage timezones in Python using the datetime module and a third-party package called dateutil. I aim to choose a range of world cities and print the local …
Problem Formulation Given a timestamp x such as the current time and a time interval marked with start and end timestamps. Goal: Create a function that checks whether the given timestamp falls in the interval [start, end], so that x>=start and x<=end. Constraints: If the interval is empty when start >= end and x != …
